kpatch 内核补丁解决方案使用 livepatch 内核子系统将旧功能重定向到新功能，详细的过程及说明如下：
The kpatch kernel patching solution uses the livepatch kernel subsystem to redirect old functions to new ones. When a live kernel patch is applied to a system, the following things happen:
- The kernel patch module is copied to the
/var/lib/kpatch/directory and registered for re-application to the kernel bysystemdon next boot. - The kpatch module is loaded into the running kernel and the new functions are registered to the
ftracemechanism with a pointer to the location in memory of the new code. - When the kernel accesses the patched function, it is redirected by the
ftracemechanism which bypasses the original functions and redirects the kernel to patched version of the function.
